Eye Gaze Assistance for a Game-Like Interactive Task

摘要

Human beings communicate in abbreviated ways dependent on prior interactions and sharedknowledge. Furthermore, humans share information about intentions and future actions using eyegaze. Among primates, humans are unique in the whiteness of the sclera and amount of sclerashown, essential for communication via interpretation of eye gaze. This paper extends ourprevious work in a game-like interactive task by the use of computerised recognition of eye gazeand fuzzy signature-based interpretation of possible intentions. This extends our notion of robotinstinctive behaviour to intentional behaviour. We show a good improvement of speed ofresponse in a simple use of eye gaze information. We also show a significant and moresophisticated use of the eye gaze information, which eliminates the need for control actions onthe user's part. We also make a suggestion as to returning visibility of control to the user in thesecases.
